Between Stars

Got to keep your head up, find the good hearts
With eyes as deep as the gaps between stars
Got to keep your head up, find the good hearts
With eyes as deep as the spaces between stars

I'll try to explain this shade of blue
Take black and beat it till its something new
Bruises deep as pools you can see
Your deja vue future through
Like the poisoned dew of a drowned blackout morning
Nuclear warning, friend turned informant
Earth wide rigor mortis
Fear rewarded, so it grew
Yeh that kind of blue

Got to keep your head up, find the good hearts
With eyes as deep as the gaps between stars
Got to keep your head up, find the good hearts
With eyes as deep as the spaces between stars

That kind of shade
Let's call it depression
Say I need a session
To confess my transgressions
Or a procession of credible professionals
Asking questions, offering chemicals
Suggesting that my pain is my possession
And not the logical expression
Of an objection to systematic oppression
The digestion of societal tension
Did I mention the lack of connection?

Got to keep your head up, find the good hearts
With eyes as deep as the gaps between stars
Got to keep your head up, find the good hearts
With eyes as deep as the spaces between stars

It's on on the way
On on on the way
It's on on the way
On on on the way

Eyes up to the horizon, see it widen, as I wizen
Sight fastened to the shining of the rising solar diamond
There is light here, there is kindness
Try to shed these shady vices
Lethal ties, disguised as highs, consumerised
Time to recognise
These hollow prizes are contrived
Devices to divide us, snide seducements to entice us
This is my reprise
Untie this paralysing shyness
Keep on writing to survive
Arriving at this mended mindset

Got to keep your head up
Find the good hearts
With eyes as deep as the gaps between stars
